Contessa Donatella

Hmm, so do we know why they changed it? His name is Krystal (with a K)

That sounds like a really smart & fair thing to do.

Oh, please, dear god, not that.

Yes, walking around a city & looking, like confused? Sure looks like a huge city, very urban. But, remember, JFP said she couldn't understand who was who & what was what? In both sets & in people, she didn't understand, at all, and that's from what she herself said. So she tied us to a new block set of 4 sets from her point of confusion. And then we were stuck. because the studio had very finite amount of set space, where these sets then dictated story location. Everything had to be about the hospital, or the cop shop, or the newspaper or Carlino's Restaurant, unless it was in the Cory home. Why didn't she just ask to have the town history & the character's histories explained to her?

So, I have learned that some things have leaked from various sources & that frees me to tell a little about the script that was tossed. A damaged, brainwashed Morgan was to appear. He had been held all this time by a known villain & he had a verbal trigger & it was the words "Susan Moore". And that's all I can say. It matters very little since they were fired & the whole script was thrown out. Edit: I have never claimed to be either an insider or an expert. That is silly.

Yes, exactly so.

Hey, I hate it but that doesn't mean it's not appropriate to post it & make a note of when it began, etc. I call the finale the most hated soap finale ever & I still post it on June 24-25, ya know?! With the percussion & coloring it also evokes NYPD Blue, as well as ER.

I agree. Very tight, also exciting. Explosive. So many possible interpretations of what was going on with "Jacobs". Note how close that is to "Jason". He could have been pretending to be brainwashed & have intentionally fouled his partner's shot, saving Sonny's life. Personally I have thought that is how he'd be brought back, saving Sonny.

How annoying.

Yes, John, that is what I am thinking, that it is a legal issue. Because they didn't write today.

Well, I wonder & elsewhere I have asked, if they would be credited as a legality. Because no matter what this show was written by PM/Korte even if their regular shows do not start tomorrow, if you see what I mean.

@Toups Does it make sense that D&C would still be credited as a legality even though the script was actually written by PM/Korte?

GH today 3-4 I missed one screen, after HWs

My new favorite LOTD: "generous interpretation of this prenup & I applaud the mental gymnastics that allowed you to stick that landing." - Maxie to BLQ, the third clip here. Also, things fans care about that the show doesn't care about: Marcus Taggert, where is he? MIA Day 165! Jackie Templeton, where is she & why won't she be at Chase's wedding? Who killed Austin? WTheck is it that Ava is up to? (Well, possibly the show does care here & we just don't know it yet.) And also I agree that it could've been a woman in man-looking shoes.

All of this with Julie relating stories & history is well done. In interviews, SSH has spoken of how many monologues they're giving her & she is just knocking them out, one by one. She's also coming across as the clan matriarch now & she wears the mantle well. The Nick mention kinda threw me. Not sure what their point was with that at this juncture. I only recently realized how short she is & they gave her a line about that, too! I know they give Marlena everything that could possibly go under the umbrella of head-shrinker but they're practically making her the shaman. They give her such power. I don't feel like this kind of acting is Jackee's strong suit but she too is methodically working it both as poor pitiful me, scared out of her wits & feeling physically very ill all at the same time Just sick of him. I hate thinking it of him, too, because James Read is such a fine actor & Clyde is less than worthless!

Right. Could not have been Ava. Austin knew the shooter & the shooter was wearing men's shoes, as we saw the shoes. Ava could have hired the hit but not have been the doer.

I'm not sure if this should count. What do y'all think? 12-22-23 Susan Lucci, live, said that Agnes Nixon created RYAN'S HOPE.

Dadgum you! Made me snort laugh. Clearly none of us are Mitching It Up!!! And, the only people I ever bought Felicia with were Wally & Cass, non-romantic and Zane. So, as far as marrying Felicia, well they both wore the suit well. St. Croix was sexy because it was exotic & the danger level was so incredibly high. It could easily have been Rachel who died instead of Janice!!! (I know she wasn't in a suit for that wedding. J/K.)

Thanks! BTW, do people here know about the SCTV send-up of Iris & Vivian, with Catherine O'Hara doing Bev?

Ava is up to something. I just am not sure what it is. But, I am kinda excited.

Okay, which day in May '91? I gotta go see. I looked forever trying to find the date of An Alex dinner party that had Bev with the best departure line, which was, "Will someone please pass the damn salt to Beth?!

A mistake is wearing white after Labor Day. Driving in such a way that you hit one car & leave the scene & then in your car, driving again, you jump a 2 foot high barrier on the median & continue barreling down the road, on the wrong side of the road & almost hit one car which swerves to avoid you but hit the car behind them head on, destroying both your car & that car & the damage being so bad that you have to be cut out of your car with the Jaws of Life & the other person has to be hospitalized with very severe injuries & yes your blood alcohol was way over the limit & I'm sorry but I'm not sure how we can minimize this & call it a "mistake." I would add the pix of the 2 cars but it's just too awful.

New edit to "Kiss the Girl"

Loved this & loved that Maxie suddenly trended for a day and a half on X/Twitter. And, this is more where I look at the perception being shown in characters & think this was a script that was tweaked. I love Tracy, period, but I'd still rather Gregory were not on my soap. Oh, come on, they're on the show because they're vets & Frank is pro-vet. I also think the show philosophy thinks lots of its fanbase are into that comfort factor which using your vets provides. Soap fans will tolerate a lot of even poor writing if they get to see the characters they've loved for such a long time. The exception here, of course, is if the poor writing messes up who the character is.

I've not seen anyone suggest that you or anyone else was condoning her behavior. I don't think you or others have to be concerned about that. And, I agree about the other & earlier said that there are other EPs (Frank may not be at GH forever, of course!) and there are also other shows. No one is condemning her to some life of utter hopelessness. Just being realistic and yes pragmatic about her burning Frank & being the cause of the 4 Mollys debacle. Simply not rocket science.
